Trade with Kyle D
A new trade with Kyle D bringing some high priority wants my way.
Edwin Bellorin was need for the "One of Every Rockie" collection and the last catcher I needed. One of the few players with only one card with the Rockies, no other sets, no parallels, no inserts, just this one card. I remember Bellorin for having big numbers in the hitting paradise that is AAA Colorado Springs, then in his first major league at bat in his first major league start, pulled a hamstring running out a grounder and was sent to the disabled list. He did return to the Rockies playing in 8 games, starting 2, from 2007-2009.

RLC Custom Card Project: Omar Olivares
You might wonder why I am doing a custom of a guy that played in 11 games for the Rockies 18 years ago. It kind of ties in with a couple projects, one being having a photo of every player to play a game for the Rockies and another being collecting old Rockies Magazines/programs sold at Coors Field. These magazines have player photos in the back and the most recent one to come my way had a color photo of Omar Olivares with the Rockies, something I had not found anywhere before.
Olivares was signed as a free agent by the Rockies in April of 1995 after spending 5 seasons with the Cardinals. After winning his Rockies debut, pitching 5 scoreless innings against Houston, Olivares struggled finding himself in bull-pen after 6 starts and was selected off waivers by the Phillies in July ending his time with the Rockies.

I was always a fan of this set and wish they would bring it back or at least update the new players every year. A very simple classy design that I have wanted to make a custom of for a while and now found an excuse.
